Pages

Thursday, October 19, 2006

I made this webpage in 2001 after being asked how I spent under $500/mo to feed my family. I decided to record and keep track of how much I spent and how many meals I could get out of it. I'm hoping to redo this with today's prices and food amounts. Afterall my kids are a LOT bigger now. lol Our financial situation has eased up a bit since this time so I know I buy and spend more.

I visited 3 stores and spents $198.16 all together. This is more then I usually have ($150), but my dh had some overtime. I splurged in a few places. I get some of my things from my stocked pantry. I stock it with sales and extra income (OT or income tax return). This is a winter menu for a family of 12. In the summer we tend to eat out of our garden a lot so it's even cheaper.
